Ehrm! With over 25000 registered members and about $29,95 per one year subscription (US-subprice only counted for), such a gesture would much likely, however nice it might seem, ruin the magazine since it'd total around $750'000
Need I say it's in the red ?All forum members with over 20,000 posts?
I think 10,000 is a better number
I know I had some more posts than the thousand I have now before the big crash a few years(?) ago. Ehm I was just going to check how many there are that are over 10000 when I noticed that there are a lot of member with no posts at all. Whats with that?
Now, where in the name of... did I put that thing that I forgot what it was and why I was looking for it?

December 2006 or January 2007. I'm not really sure.

I don't believe anyone lost any posts after the last crash. Which one are you referring to?

MacLife would be cool.
Sometimes people call it 'CrackAddict' when they see me reading it.

Re: MacAddict changing name to MacLife?
Ooooohhhhh Noooohh! This is like a total disaster
as when Apple joined forces with IBM....wait, that worked out OK....well, like when Apple went over from Motorola to Intel....wait, that seems to have worked out OK, too (I guess...I'm still using a 68040, a G3 and a G4....).
I really value Whatever The Magazine Is Called because it makes me think I'm a lot cooler than I really am, since I mainly do boring things with my Mac. But since I'm a psychiatrist who mainly treats addicts, there's special joy for me having the name MacAddict.
So, I'll sadly go along with the change. I still think some edgier name than Mac|Life could be devised, but that's not my job. My job is to continue to subscribe and to enjoy the heck out of this magazine!

Re: MacAddict changing name to MacLife?
Mac magazines are a dying breed in general. With that in mind, I hope that MacAddict/MacLife will continue to hang in there. Without these guys, the world will most certainly end!

Re: MacAddict changing name to MacLife?
Sorry to see the old Addict go.
Even more sorry that it's getting killed by such a crappy name. I opt for Mac|Obsession or Mac|...Heck! ANYTHING but that! C'mon! MacLife sounds like it should be in home & garden.

Re: MacAddict changing name to MacLife?
I've been a MacAddict since I picked up the first issue and have NEVER missed an issue, even when I was in Russia for two years and now that I'm back in Ukraine. One of the reasons I kept with MacAddict over the other Mac mags was that not only did it give priceless Mac information/reviews/news, but it had a wide streak of humor which was sadly lacking in all the other mags, and of course the PC rags. Now some "suits" have decided that a name change is in order, and to Mac\Life?! No doubt after focus testing! Probably Max will be next to be killed! This a bland, uninspiring, and just plain BORING name! What are you pushing? PCs?! Where's the rough edge? Where's the brotherhood in Mac\Life? NONE! I'm a MacAddict and I had a magazine that said so. Will I stay with your magazine? We'll see. But if you're going "main-stream" then I might as well go with that "other" Mac mag. At least they're proud enough to keep their name! NUFF SAID.

Re: MacAddict changing name to MacLife?
You can get MacAddict in Kyiv? Wow. All I could find to read on the train was Ukrainian Playboy. Didn't do me much good, either; I could barely read the articles.
Made me a lot more popular on Turkish trains than MacAddict would have, though, I can tell you!

Re: MacAddict changing name to MacLife?
I have to say, MacAddict is a much better name than Mac|Life. But even though you're changing the name, I think you should keep the mac mouse as the dot for the "i". It would liven Mac|Life up a little.

Well, I must agree, it goes well with the new name, it's very bland.

Re: MacAddict changing name to MacLife?
I feel like we're being manipulated by marketing, and executives that don't get it.
Blue is one of the happy colors.
Next thing you know, the fun, laid back, 'ragtag team', articles and editorials from our favorite authors will be replaced by marketing approved, "safe" content, that only the majority of readers will respond to, in order to increase circulation.
Damn Marketing. It wont be for Mac addicts any more, it will be for windows switchers. Who wanted an Apple because it said both Apple and Intel on it.
